"Liu Yang, it is good that you think so. But I fear it is easier said than done. The test they want you to take is the Graduation Challenge, they want you to pa.s.s this challenge. " Xie Mu spoke in a heavy tone. He knew about the Graduation Challenge and the mortality rate of the partic.i.p.ants.

"I see… So this is a coincidence. Uncle, I was already planning to partic.i.p.ate in this challenge. " Liu Yang commented, he was surprised to learn that his test would pa.s.s the Graduation Challenge.

"Liu Yang, are you really thinking about taking part in the challenge?" The three were surprised after hearing Liu Yang's words.

"Yes, I am thinking of partic.i.p.ating in the challenge to train"

"Liu Yang, you must rethink this decision. The Graduation Challenge is much more dangerous than you think, the death rate is around eighty to ninety percent. Last year, of the thousand students who tried, only ten returned alive, the rest failed.

This challenge is not just to test a magician's abilities, but also a person's survival and tenacity instincts. In the year that I took the challenge, there were a total of five hundred students, only three returned alive.

Each year, the location of the challenge changes, the only thing that does not change is the level of danger of the locations. "

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about that. I made up my mind about this a long time ago "Liu Yang spoke solemnly.

After Liu Xia left, Liu Yang discovered that he depended on her a lot to do many things, especially during training, without her guidance, Liu Yang was lost.

After the Elemental Fusion incident of the thunder element last year, Liu Yang made a bold decision, he chose to take the Graduation Challenge. Liu Yang had the goal of completing something without the help of Liu Xia, he will prove to himself that he does not depend only on her to move forward.

If Liu Xia knew about this thought of Liu Yang, she would be very happy, as she always helped Liu Yang at all times and never left him alone. This was a good time for him to grow up and get stronger.

"Liu Yang, as you already decided, I will not intervene. But I hope you will come back alive because I don't want my daughter to be a widow before she gets married and gives me at least one grandchild. Understood?"

"Yes. Uncle, I guarantee that I will return alive "Liu Yang swore. Xie Xinyue blushed when she heard about having children.

"Liu Yang, train a lot before the Graduation Challenge starts. You're already in your third year, right? The challenge starts in May and ends in November, you need to be mentally prepared for it.

"Yes. I am already making preparations for the challenge. "

"I am happy to hear that"

The four continued to talk about some issues before paying the bill and leaving. Liu Yang and Xie Xinyue went to the hotel where Liu Yang was staying, while her parents went home.

Xie Xinyue's mother told the couple not to cross the line when they are alone. Xie Xinyue was embarra.s.sed to hear these words, while Liu Yang scratched his nose.

Knowing about Liu Yang's feelings towards her, Xie Xinyue made a bold decision that night, she slept with Liu Yang and let him take advantage of her. The two only kissed a few times before going to sleep, since Xie Xinyue was not prepared to go beyond that.

…

Liu Yang returned home two days later, he stayed in Shanghai during that time to meet Xie Xinyue. The two made some advances in their relations.h.i.+p, before, they just held hands. Now, the two were already hugging and kissing.

After the two days, Liu Yang boarded the flight and returned home. He was renewed and ready for his intensive training for the Graduation Challenge.

Before cla.s.ses started, Liu Yang went to the Eastern School to talk to the princ.i.p.al. When he arrived in the room, there was already a group of third-year students inside talking to the princ.i.p.al.

Liu Yang's arrival was not a surprise for the director, but for the others it was different, none of them knew Liu Yang's true cultivation, so they didn't imagine he was there with the same goals as them.

"Student Liu Yang, what are you doing here? Cla.s.ses will not start for almost three months. " The director asked, he already had a vague idea of ​​why Liu Yang appeared.

"Princ.i.p.al, I would like to request a four-month break before going back to school" Liu Yang's words were already in the princ.i.p.al's expectations. But the other students were surprised, as he really did what they were also doing.

"I see… Student Liu Yang, your request is the same as all of them. As the princ.i.p.al of the school, I am happy that you are looking to try to break your limits, but I hope you will think carefully about this. The Graduation Challenge is not an easy thing to complete, the death rate is almost ninety percent. Are you sure you really want to do this? " The director looked at everyone and asked solemnly.

Some students didn't know about the challenge, they just knew it was a great opportunity to get a place at the Imperial University of China.

But when they heard that the death rate was ninety percent, some students already started to hesitate. None of them wanted to die early, some of them still had a chance to enter other universities, even if they are less prestigious than the Imperial University.

This hesitation was noticed by the director, he could only sigh internally because of that. Many talented mages died during the Graduation Challenge, only the best of the best had a chance to survive until the end.

"My dear students, you still have two months to decide on this matter. Before registering for the Graduation Challenge, you can search for information about it. The information will only be open to the public in a month, the government did this to make students think well before making a decision that could risk their lives "The director spoke solemnly.

Some students thanked the princ.i.p.al for the advice before bowing and leaving the room. Inside the room, there were still some students who were not intimidated by the director's words.

"Director, regardless of the situation. I am prepared for the Graduation Challenge "A young man spoke confidently.

"Director, me too"

"Me too"

…

Many students spoke on the subject, they were saying that they had the confidence to win the challenge. Only a few students were silent about this.

"I see… Those who have confidence in enrolling in the Graduation Challenge can take this and go to training room number 7 if you can handle it for an hour inside the room. I will accept your decision to register "

"We thank the princ.i.p.al for this" These students took a copper coin that the princ.i.p.al placed on the table, before thanking him and leaving.

Only three students remained in the room. Two boys and a girl.

"Only the three of you are left"

"Director, I'm serious about testing my limits at the Graduation Challenge. I want you to accept my application "The thin young man spoke solemnly, he had long hair up to his back, while his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his face was ordinary. What called attention was the cold aura that emanated from the young man's body. He was wearing the third year uniform, on his arm was the letter A written.

"Student Su Min, I know that you are talented and that you showed your talents last year after a year in hiding. But this is no joke, the Graduation Challenge is not something that a magician can survive without a good physical and mental preparation "The director spoke solemnly when he spoke to Su Min.

Su Min was a student at another school who enrolled at the Eastern School last year. He hid his cultivation at the previous school before showing up during training and became one of the students chosen for the School Compet.i.tion, although his performance was good, it still wasn't enough to reach the top eight.

The Su Min clan, the Su clan was one of the hundred most influential clans in China, but as he was the lover's son of one of the big shots in the clan. Su Min did not have many resources to train, compared to the children of the main wife. He had to train hard to get to his current level, he was a level 9 intermediate mage, a step for the advanced mage.

"Director, I know that my cultivation is very weak at the moment, but in three months, I guarantee that I will breakthrough to the advanced rank." Su Min swore, he seemed desperate to be able to register.

The director sighed internally before taking a copper coin and placing it on the table.

"Student Su Min, even though you are an intermediate magician, I can't take it easy on you. If you are really interested in partic.i.p.ating in the Graduation Challenge, you need to show that you deserve to be accepted. I will give you two chances, this coin can be used twice, after that, it will disappear.

Student Su Min, your goal is to last an hour inside the training room 7. But remember, you only have two chances to do this, if after the two attempts, you are unable to pa.s.s this small test, you can forget about having your registration accepted. Understood?"

"Yes, director. I understand "Su Min thanked him and took the coin.

"Now you two are missing" The director spoke to Liu Yang and the girl next to him.
